Your PC came with a 700 MHz Duron, not an Athlon. It can take up to at least
a 950MHz Athlon, which is what the top model in the 5WV2 series has. HH "Ted" wrote in message ... 5wv254. What speed processor can I upgrade my 700 MHz Anthon with? Thanks in advance Ted |

Yes HH.. its a 700MHz Duran of course. I don't think the very slight
improvement with a 950MHz would be worth the effort! Bur thanks anyway. Ted "HH" wrote in message ... Your PC came with a 700 MHz Duron, not an Athlon.

Hmmm. Dunno. To a 950 Duron, I agree. A 950 Athlon would be noticeably
faster, though. Much larger L1 and L2 cache. HH "Ted" wrote in message ... Yes HH.. its a 700MHz Duran of course. I don't think the very slight improvement with a 950MHz would be worth the effort!

5wv254. What speed processor can I upgrade my 700 MHz Anthon with? Thanks in advance Ted If the 5000 series is like the 5000US, then reportedly 1.2G Athlon is possible according to he ftp://ftp.fic.com.tw/motherboard/cpu...cketa/az31.pdf Or 1.1G Athlon according to he http://www.softwareandstuff.com/mb_cmpqsk7.html Does your motherboard look like the one pictured? I briefly looked at upgrading my 5000US to a 1.1G Athlon but decided it was not cost-effective. Might upgrade to a 7,200rpm 8MB HDD though. Once I figure out how to install the OS on the new HDD since I don't have the installation disc just the recovery disc. |
